ERASMUS RECRUITMENT DAYS The Erasmus Recruitment Days is the largest and most professional on-campus recruitment event in Europe, organised for students and by students. In the first two weeks of February the event takes over the entire campus!

During the Erasmus Recruitment Days more than 2800 students get in touch with over 100 different companies.

Every committee member has his/her own responsibilities such as selling the project to companies, designing the book, leading the promotion activities in order to receive thousands of subscriptions. Nevertheless, working together as a team towards and during the event is essential for the organisation of a successful event.

Would you like to get the incredible experience of organising the Erasmus Recruitment Days? Would you like to get the thrill of working towards the event with your team and develop yourself through the unique challenge of organising the biggest project on campus? Invest in your future and apply for the Erasmus Recruitment Days committee!
